This made me wonder what "HSS" means to the Chinese.
Here's a 1/2 inch drill my brother-in-law was using to put a deep hole in the edge of a solid wood door.

its like asking for rice in a Chinese restaurant in China, they dont call it rice so rarely would anybody know what you talking about. metal has Chinese names in China
you aint going to see USA names in Chinese metal store normally
Surely will in Hong Kong. But only if you LIVE there about 30-odd years "officially" whether that much in-residence or not.
And know WHERE to look!
.
you want a Chinese government stamped receipt showing chinese metal type you better look at the Chinese metal type and make sure its what you want on the metal cross reference chart. I wouldnt trust anything else typed in English on a Chinese rceipt
in my experience in China you get what you asked for...... If you got a China government stamped receipt with metal analysis nobody going to risk a Chinese jail selling you anything else.

99.999% of time, problems are a translation error. if translator is not a metal expert you better have a metal cross reference chart when going to the Chinese metal store. I usually had a Shiyong Wujin Shouce book with me (Standard hardware handbook or similar books)
It couldn't be the drill broke through misuse or the operator being clumsy could it? ...………..I've broken several 1/2 '' (and larger) drills using them freehand, …….and IME deep holes in wood can be a minefield for the unwary.
Just saying.

Ummh .. welll.
Some among would not WANT to use a helical twist drill meant for steel - not even tip-ground for shiney-wood - on REAL WOOD to begin with, would we?
Irwin Speedbores, standard, long, and extra-long.. plus extensions, longish "bellhanger" drills dear to a "telephone man's" heart, coupla kinds of augers, even Forstners and hole-saws in the box for REAL woods.
Horses for courses...
Absolutely! It was my brother-in-law, after all. But I've NEVER broken a drill larger than 1/16" inch, let along a 1/2" drill. I am amazed that others have.
